Here's a pic to show u how it fits on my 055Pro. The 484RC2's rather sturdy for a small mini ballhead and holds well too!

Snoweagle, thanks for the pics. it looks that the ballhead only occupy the inner circle of the 055 head.

Yes cos it's a mini ballhead. This 484RC2 can support up to 4kg.

If that's your concern, then, go for the 486RC2, which matches pretty nicely to the top flange of the 055. With a bigger ballhead, your future expansion or upgrading to bigger and heavier lenses and body with Vgrip would be well catered for. Might even be good enough for a MF set-up, that is if that's your cup of tea.

As for me, I got the 055 and the 486 combo - it becomes sort of my permanent combo becos the 2 got stuck together for life! Becos I screwed them too tight together and not not able to remove now.

Wow...better now over-tighten it cos it may damage the screw threads. Actually i agree that the 486RC2 looks better on the 055Pro but for me i don't need that much so a 484RC2 will suffice.
